Preparation

Step 1

Cook penne according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch
oven, cook the sausage, mushrooms, pepper and onion over medium heat
until meat is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender; drain
and remove from pan.

Cook pepperoni in the same pan until heated through. Return sausage
mixture to the pan.

Stir in the water, tomato paste, spaghetti sauce mix, olives, oil and
garlic salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for
4-5 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

Drain pasta; stir into sausage mixture. Transfer to a greased 13-in.
x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly.
